Ambush On W Keishing An Act Of Terror: NSCN-K

IMPHAL, Apr 25: NSCN-K or GPRN/NSCN has strongly condemned the barbaric murderous attack on MLA Wungnaoshang and his escort party on April 15 near New Canal area in Ukhrul District.

The eight dead and injuries to several members of the MLA’s escort team manifested the fundamental flaw in the policy of Th Muivah, said a press release issued by the outfit’s MIP.

Since 1988, Nagas have lost hundreds of prized men and women succumbing to IM tactics of targeting important personalities to create sensationalism, fear and silence in the mind of the people.

It matters little whether Government of India applaud Th Muivah or take him to task for ordering assassination of Wungnaoshang Keishing, sitting MLA of Phungyar Constituency, Ukhrul, Manipur.

Naga people everywhere, irrespective of region or tribe, must ponder over whether such murderous ambush on fellow Nagas would serve any purpose.

At this hour, only fanatics with destructive ideas would attempt to strangle the people with acts of terrorism.

Understandably, the so-called Naga frontal organizations appear to have shut down their offices and gone on vacation to avoid condemning the brazen act of terrorism committed by their sponsor.

To stay silent in the face of such destruction of human lives is to propagate and instigate terrorism. The assassination attempt on the Naga legislator by IM is a reminder that desperate men have little choice on their hands.

“GPRN/NSCN believes that MLA Wungnaoshang is a public leader who has the moral obligation towards the people he represents in the Assembly”, it asserted.

The silence of ever bragging UNCs, the ANSAMs, NWUMs and other Naga organizations in Manipur is most outrageous.

“Ask Dr SC Jamir, Neiphiu Rio, Kihoto Hollohon and many others who survived IM’s assassination attempts a number of times in the past”, the outfit said.

Naga history will neither glorify assassins nor their masters.

The ambush is a direct indication that the Naga people no longer believe in the politics of Th Muivah and his men.

Politics of assassination will never silence the Nagas. Solution to the Indo-Naga-Burma political problem demands that even the worst critics could strengthen the people’s resolve.

The ugly incident has definitely left the Nagas asking Th Muivah whether bifurcation of Ukhrul district is a bigger devil than the alternative political arrangement that he is neck-deep into. As for final Indo-Naga political solution, it is best left to the Naga people, the outfit added.
